Although the space is small, the atmosphere feels very cozy & welcoming.
Bread is served with butter & pâté, which instantly wakes up your palate. I especially loved the appetizer - braised beef & goat cheese profiteroles. The sauce is rich but not heavy at all, & the light, tangy red sauce on the side balances it beautifully.
For the main course, I had the shrimp pasta. It's tomato-based & looks quite simple at first, but the flavors are surprisingly rich with plenty of ingredients. Every bite was satisfying.
Dessert was apple pie with ice cream. The apple pie is sweet with a pleasant acidity & a strong cinnamon aroma, which pairs very well with the ice cream. The only small wish is that the ice cream portion could be a bit bigger.

Large portion at a reasonable price! Foie gras in their appetizers is a must-have!
Really recommend the lamb cause it's so juicy & tender. We are also impressed with the duck breast & it comes with very good cheese.
However, the desserts are too sweet for us….my bad
Sincèrement je vais à ce petit resto français depuis 20 ans! Un apportez votre vin, de bon plats & une ambiance chaleureuse, c'est parfait. Ici une bonne joue de boeuf braisée tellement bonne. Mon entrée préférée: leur foie gras au torchon. & un dessert complètement chocolaté. Merci d'exister après toutes ces années ☺?👌🏻🤍
Le Pégase is one of the top French restaurants in the city. You get a set menu to choose 4 dishes (soup/salad, entree, main dish & dessert) & meal is priced as per the main course. The dishes are fresh, unique & totally worth the money. The place is incredibly small & usually packed (because of how good it is) which means that it's difficult to have a conversation without overhearing other tables. I would definitely come back here for special occasions.
We've been to Le Pegase several years ago & was really impressed by their food in term of their taste & presentation. The soup/salad, appetizer & entree are at expectation. I especially like their bison steak, the meat is medium-rare on top of meshed sweet potatoes, beans & bok choy. However, the pavlova was too hard to eat, kind of like over baked meringue. & the dessert of the day is three mini-chocolate puff, that can be easily get !at Costco. Anyway, the waiter was polite & efficient. The overall experience is nice.
Nestled in-between homes was this cute & cozy restaurant. Everything from the starters to the dessert were great! I tried the beef profiteroles, joue de boeuf & the tarte tartin. My husband had the bison bavette for his main but was a bit disappointed with the flavour - it did not taste like bison, it tasted like beef. He had the pavlova for dessert - it is hard to choose which was the better dessert option - the tartin or the pavlova as they were both great!
The cons of the evening were the service - the waiters didn't take time to explain the menu options even though the menu is small & they aren't very attentive (they didn't
refill our water unless we asked them to). The AC also was not on so it was very hot & sticky inside the restaurant.
Overall - great food & we would recommend this BYOW restaurant!

Nth time: Something new something good!
Tous étaient vraiment délicieux! Pas cher. Allez y!
Entrée: soupe de navet, comme le goût chinois ; salad
Foie gras, tataki de thon
Plat: bavette de bison, médaillon de biche Dessert: riz du pouding, crème brûlée
Was good! Price is surprisingly cheap,for ~55$ you get a full course meal(soup+basket of bread, appetizer, main, dessert), & the portions are really big that I could barely finish it. Really liked the dessert & the appetizers. Place is a bit small, so you kinda have to squeeze a bit(probably hard to put a stroller? If that matters to you). would want to go back.
Le Pégase is a great spot for French food! The portions are huge, so you definitely get your money's worth. They have some really unique sauce combinations that make the dishes stand out. From appetiser to dessert!
The lamb rack was amazing-crispy on the outside, super tender & juicy inside. Easily one of the best I've had!
On top of that, the staff is super friendly & makes the experience even better. Definitely recommend checking this place out!

An expensive but worthwhile French style experience. A great place to celebrate with friends or family. Delicious food made by the talented chef. You pay for an entrée, main meal, & dessert. All of which are high quality & delicious.
Toutes la bouffe était géniale par contre grosse déception au niveau du dessert! Des churros brulés de l'extérieur & pas cuit de l'intérieur c'est vraiment ordinaire! L'endroit est également très petit & on était bousculé dans notre table par les gens qui attendaient en file à l'intérieur même du restaurant c'etait chaotique & limite un peu stressant vers la fin. Les arancinis & les pates étaient magnifiquement bons !!
I really like the restaurant - it's cozy & intimate. The service was also good & friendly. I think their appetizers & desserts definitely require some improvement in their taste. However, considering the price is really affordable, I think I will come back.
We had dinner on Saturday at Le Pégase. Wow! It was incredible. The green salad with the sun dried tomato drizzle was outstanding, the entrees were very good, the lamb was perfectly cooked. The desserts were delicious especially the pavlova. Service was excellent. We brought a few bottles of Beaujolais. A perfect evening, highly recommend. .

Très belle adresse. Les viandes & leurs cuissons sont parfaites, les desserts bons. L entrée, profiteroles au boeuf braisé & fromage de chèvre, un peu décevante car le fromage masquait le boeuf. On y reviendra car c etait bon
One of our favorite restaurants in montreal. Delicious four course dining, cozy atmosphere & very good value. Our fav is Profiteroles with Honey & Braised Beef, The Bison, rack of lamb & tarte tatin for dessert 😋
So authentic & cozy! This place feels like you're sitting in your own home with an amazing chef preparing your meal. The food is really tasty. They offer a fixed menu where you choose your starter, main course, & dessert. Pègase is a bring-your-own-wine restaurant. The dishes could compete with those from a fine dining establishment-they are super tasty. I was so happy with the service; everyone was incredibly friendly.
Very reasonably priced. $52-$62 per meal. No corking fee for bringing your own bottle of wine. They don't serve alcohol so if you don't bring your own, you won't be able to order any there. The bison steak was supposed to be medium rare but came out very rare & under done. They did try to fix it & provided a free dessert as an apology. Overall still a fantastic experience & would definitely go back
J'aimais aller à ce restaurant mais j'ai été un peu déçu en arrivant puisque contrairement à ce qui est laissé présagé sur le site, vous êtes obligé de prendre leur table gourmande. Le site indique des tarifs pour les entrées & les desserts mais rien de cela n'est disponible. Moi qui voulait qu'un plat j'ai dû emmener les 3/4 de ma formule chez nous. Les entrées étaient parfaitement exécutées mais ma femme & moi avons été déçus des plats (ribs & bison). Les saveurs étaient ordinaires. Je venais par ailleurs de manger la même semaine le bison chez Hoogan & beaufort & on était à des années lumières l'un de l'autre. Bref, pour un bill à 150$ à deux, je crois que je favoriserais d'autres établissements à l'avenir.
